     72A.325 Insurance for funeral or burial expense; freedom 
  of choice. 

    No insurance company, agent, or other person engaged in the 
 business of providing insurance or other benefits for the 
 payment of any funeral or burial expense, shall designate, 
 endorse, or otherwise promote any particular mortician, funeral 
 director, funeral establishment, cemetery, or any other party 
 offering funeral or burial services or supplies, as the 
 beneficiary or recipient of the benefits, so as to deprive the 
 family, next of kin, or other representative of the deceased 
 policyholder of the right to select the funeral or burial 
 services and supplies of their choice.  No owner, director, or 
 employee of a funeral establishment, or entity having a direct 
 equity interest in a funeral establishment, shall receive any 
 fee, commission, or other reimbursement on any insurance sale 
 facilitated through the funeral establishment.  

    No owner, director, or employee of a funeral establishment 
 shall receive any fee for endorsing insurance policies, plans, 
 or services.
